Paper is focusing on two aspects of researching destinies of children from the “economic bottom”, those who did not own any property and who were dependent on the collective and individual emotions. Such sentiment was also connected with a sense of social responsability and reciprocity of individuals. Two aspects of attitudes to children are analysed. First aspect is a legal aspect, which sets a general position of children but also limits of social solidarity, which is in this age group particularly emphasized. There is also a reconstruction of life destinies of poor children – foundlings in different life periods. It is about the position of the children, who we could easily prove only black theory in the field of attitudes and relationships to childhood and children.

In the 18th century, the collective memory and knowledge of rural communities still depended on the oral transmission of messages, and therefore on rumours. Likewise, one’s honour and social reputation often depended on gossip or rumour. Gossip is a type of communication where two or more people discuss the social reputation or the so-called repute of a third person. If this information were to spread among other people, we can speak of rumours or slander. This contribution focuses on the characteristics of rumours directly related to an individual and his/her family. Reputation and honour represented the key identity of the individual in early modern period. Also the poor relief depended on the level of social capital and reputation of the individual.

The first part of the article examines domestic service legislation and its development in the 18th century, which was marked by a transition from the Aristotelian perception of domestic service as the foundation of early Modern Age society into the era of the absolutist state and its concept of a strong police force. The second part will feature the identities and then reconstructions of the destinies and life stories of various domestic servants from both cities and the countryside. It is particularly notable that their life stories were recorded at different stages of their lives. These stories from the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century reflect both the personal as well as attributed identities of domestic servants

The Triestine police regulations from 1755 delineated the jurisdictions of new and old supervisory bodies and they combined or consolidated various legal norms that governed public life in the city. The police regulations served as a basis for the administration and sanctioning of police matters in the city as well as in the rural areas of the municipality of Trieste until 1768. The new police regulations were crucial also for regulation of poor-relief and poor relief institutions.
